Bob Mumford in his article "Unity in the Church" A  plan  which prepares  our  understanding for the coming corporate  person  we know to be the many membered body of Christ. Here  is the bait: "Because the body of Christ is fragmented,  He cannot give us all that is in His heart for the new  millennium." "The  fact  is that when the segmented  and  "denominationalized" body  of Christ takes hold of a truth - major visitation or  some aspect  of  the kingdom God that could make a difference  to  the church  as  a whole - it is always subjected the following  four
pressures: 1.Introversion  which leads  to  "spiritual  incest." Distortion:  the  incestuous cycle creates  and  feeds  spiritual paranoia which leads to spiritual schizophrenia. Perversion:  the
truth is abandoned while the outward forms are retained. Dismantling: The  overall effect is the embarrassment of God,.. and forces  him  to push the "destruct" button.. As we  approach  the Third  Millennium, I believe reconciliation will take five  forms that  are necessary to prepare us. It will be: 1.Transdenominational: gives us a larger heart and expresses the fullness of the Father's  heart.. accept that your denomination is an  incomplete expression of the mind of God. 2. Transsocial: become involved, risk.  3.  Transracial: including Black,  white,  Latino, Native American,  Asian and Semite. 4. Transcultural Culture:  learn to accept  others as part of your family in Christ. 5. Transgenerational: turn the hearts of the fathers to the children..
Are  you locked in the confines of your own church  or  religious tradition?  Let  God set you free and give you a  heart  for  the whole body of Christ. (see Charisma, July 1998)
Churches  in Tampa ask races to step away from the divide at the graveside  memorial of the two slain police detectives. The  message of Restoration '98: to build bridges of unity in the  community, it's up to the churches to break down the racial, denominational and gender walls. Tony Evans, pastor of Oak  Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas. People can begin by getting involved in  their churches. Evans said. "With  nearly half a million churches  in  the United States, that's  the largest potential volunteer  force  in this country." His  suggestions  offer  job training, get people off welfare, mentoring programs, teen clubs, ect.,  ect..
The March for Jesus, which was taking place  in  700 cities  in 150 countries included Catholic Cops for Christ.  Even Tampa Law enforcement officers and County Sheriffs gathered in  a prayer circle and prayed. The crowd fell silent and prayed  with them.
